Some research & our sentence

Sentence:
We aim to design a system that allows students to teach and inspire each other, through a tailorable experience, extracurricular activities, such as art, music, and dance, by using unconventional teaching tools.
___
Research & Resources:
There are gems of information that are in some way or another relevant to our goal for this project. These TED talks show new and existing examples of how people use the internet to collaborate, and learn by sharing information and having access to so many resources. The video "Child Driven Education" addresses how children take their own time to sit and learn something by doing it in their own way. The results are astounding! The video, "My Green School" show how we don't necessarily need to be surrounded by technological gadgets to learn just as effectively. Each one is very inspirational.

Quotes: "When people have interest, then education happens"
—Two children were watching a TED talk. They wanted to be footballers before — after eight TED talks, they wanted to be Leonardo Da Vinci".
—sometimes Children learned better in groups — like with the Gateshead experiment.
